What it does

If you’re building a website, icons are but a necessity—how else will your loyal readers and followers know where to click? Of course, most of us haven’t got the time nor the will, nor any design cred to actually create icons on our own. But that is exactly where Sweetie steps in to rescue us from tedious design work. Sweetie offers cute and clear icons for any web application. All these adorable icons are licensed und Creative Commons, so they’re free for anyone to use. Users may also customize and derive new icons from those included within each pack. On the homepage, you’ll currently find two packages, Sweetie Basepack (182 icons) and Sweetie WebCommunication (37 icons). Users can request different icons should they find Sweetie lacking; they may also browse through the links to find other icon sites.

In their own words

“Cute and clear icons to use in your nifty web application. They are licenced under a Creative Commons licence, so commercial use is fine. Also feel free to make derivatives with the included Photoshop documents.”

Why it might be a killer

Sweetie’s icons are pretty clear and concise. For those who haven’t got the time nor money for creating new icons, Sweeties’ icons are a perfect solution. They can easily be downloaded and customized if the need should arise, for use with any website or application.

Some questions

How often are new icons added? Is there an RSS feed? How will this be monetized?
